A Mediterranean Expedition was a virtual representation of one of Wei Yu's genetic memories relived through the Animus.
Description[edit | edit source]
Wei Yu allied himself with Kassandra in an effort to retrieve a mysterious artifact from a Roman general amidst a fierce battle.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
High above the chaos of a battle between Roman and Carthaginian soldiers, stand a youxia from China named Wei Yu and the legendary misthios Kassandra. Kassandra restates their goal—to retrieve a powerful artifact from a Roman general—just before she leaps into the fray.
Wei Yu stood on the mast of a sunken ship.
- Wei Yu: I shouldn't keep her waiting.
Wei Yu performed a Leap of Faith to the docks below.
- Kassandra: Not bad. You're a natural at this.
She leaped at a Roman guard on a nearby rock and assassinated him as Wei Yu stepped out of the hay stack.
- Wei Yu: I could have handled myself.
- Kassandra: Force of habit. Come on, this way.
They moved through the shipwrecks towards the battle ensuing on the beach.
- Kassandra: This way. I suspect the stone will be in the midst of the fighting.
She spotted some guards in their way.
- Kassandra: Look alive, there are guards ahead. I'll the the one up top.
Wei Yu slew three guards who came at him while Kassandra assassinated another one on top of a small watchtower.
- Kassandra: Up here!
Wei Yu climbed a ladder to reach her.
- Kassandra: Look over there.
From their highpoint, Kassandra pointed out a soldier immediately below.
- Wei Yu: Did you save him for me?
- Kassandra: Don't flatter yourself. He might have a clue on him about the whereabouts of the stone.
Wei Yu assassinated the man with his dagger, while Kassandra left from the highpoint.
They reached the vicinity of the battle.
- Wei Yu: We should see what that's about.
Kassandra ran to a corpse of one of the Carthaginian soldiers, kneeling before it.
- Kassandra: Some of these men can still fight. You go on ahead. I'll catch up.
Wei Yu joined the battle, spotting Carthaginian forces losing skirmishes across the beachhead.
- Wei Yu: It looks like they're in trouble.
Wei Yu killed some Roman soldiers with his spear, incentivizing them to keep up the fighting.
- Wei Yu: Hold your ground!
- Carthaginian soldier 1: Sir, on our flank!
Wei Yu ran in and killed more Roman soldiers, saving the Carthaginians who then aided his efforts rescuing their kinsmen.
- Carthaginian soldier 2: Thank you, sir! The general ordered us to secure this outpost, but we're outnumbered!
- Wei Yu: Hopefully I can even the odds, then. Let us press forward.
With the help of the soldiers, Wei Yu managed to clean the Roman troops of the beach.
- Wei Yu: We're almost there. Keep going!
They moved closer to the temple at the end of the beach, defeating the remainder of the Roman forces.
Having defeated a number of Roman soldiers, Wei Yu is met by the grateful Carthaginian leader, Hannibal, who sees that their objectives align—Hannibal wants the Roman general dead, and Wei Yu wants the stone he carries.
Wei Yu went up several staircases leading to the temple, while the arrows loosed by the Roman ships hit the oild jars in the way.
- Wei Yu: The stone he had in his hand... That's what we're after.
Wei Yu approached the entrance of temple, where the Roman general dwelled.
- Roman General: Is that all you have? This is the supposed might of Carthage? Pathetic!
Challenge me, weaklings! Is no one brave enough?
Wei Yu arrives before the Roman commander and issues a challenge, only to be mocked by his enemy as an insignificant foreign warrior. But the commander's arrogance would soon be tempered by the grace of an eastern spearmaster.
The two started fighting in the closed temple.
- Roman General: Pathetic! You call that strength?
You're a waste of my breath!
Hah! You call this a fight?
When weakened enough, the general utilized the power of the artifact he carried to imbue his sword with power and protect himself with an energy shield in an explosion. Eventually, Wei Yu disabled his protections.
- Roman General: So you're stronger than you look...
After a lengthy fight, Wei Yu proved victorious.
- Wei Yu: Finally. Now, to get that stone.
Having looted the stone from the commander's body, Wei Yu immediately returned to his tent.
- Wei Yu: The stone has been retrieved, and my end of the bargain fulfilled.
- Kassandra: That it has. And now for me to fulfill mine. Here.
She held out a necklace with a black triangle. The two looked at an unrolled map of Eurasia and Africa weighted down to the table by a kopis.
- Kassandra: In these scrolls is everything you need to know about your disciple's... circumstances. I trust you will find them most illuminating.
- Wei Yu: There's a blade rolled up here as well.
Kassandra withdrew a golden blade, handling it to him.
- Kassandra: Another gift for your disciple. Consider it a token for your help.
- Wei Yu: I promise you they will put this to good use. Thank you, misthios, truly. For everything.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Wei Yu and Kassandra assisted Hannibal's forces in capturing the beachhead from the Roman defenders. Wei Yu then slew the commander and retrieved a precious stone. As thanks for his help, Kassandra gave him scrolls she had acquired regarding his student's unusual condition and a weapon for the pupil.
